Trump Goes on Late Night Tirade Against Media For Reports About Off the Record Meeting: ‘Totally Bonkers!’

by Tamar Auber | Jan 9th, 2019, 11:10 pm

Late Wednesday night, President Donald Trump ripped NBC and MSNBC — which he claimed are going crazy for reporting out “opposite of the facts” on purpose.




He then followed by ranting at the media for leaking details of an off-the-record luncheon on Tuesday.




It is unclear exactly which anchors or what particular leaks Trump was targeting in his tweet claiming that it was the mainstream media who has gone “totally bonkers!”

for news anchors. That was the meeting with Congress. What luncheon is he talking about where the news anchors who were there "quickly leaked" it out? There was no mention of a luncheon for news anchors yesterday.

I'd give anything for the media to push back on this nonsense, but I don't have much hope for that because they are so afraid of being labeled as "partisan". This is what they receive for accommodating his every request. Look you spineless fucks, this is waaaaaaay beyond partisan at this point! You are aiding and abetting this insanity by not pushing back against it! The country is begging you, please help stop this insanity.

The only people who are REALLY crazy are the ones who don't know they're crazy.

Good grief, he is describing himself. Almost every attack he launches is really a reflection of him.

"NEVER been more dishonest", "going crazy", "exact opposite of facts" - in a bizarre unconscious way, he is really self-aware.

find a media resource that he doesn't accuse of being biased.
